‘Get real’: Complainant’s emotional outburst during Alan Jones trial
Complainant ‘C’ told a court his text messages to the then-2GB host were “consistent with someone who had been groomed … on the way to talk to him”.
Complainant 'C' has told a Sydney court that he sent flirtatious text messages to Alan Jones, a former 2GB broadcaster, as a way of currying favour with him. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, 'C' described his messages as "consistent with someone who had been groomed … on the way to talk to him".
The court heard that Jones allegedly groomed 'C', who was a junior staffer and driver for Jones, for a decade. 'C' alleged that Jones touched his penis and kissed him without consent when he was in his early 20s.
Text messages between 'C' and Jones have been presented in court as part of Jones' trial, where he faces 22 indecent assault and sexual touching charges in relation to six men. Jones has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
